If you want to get the next irrespective of the current date in the current month. below code may help you

echo date('M',strtotime('first day of +1 month'));
// e.g. "Jan"

echo date('m',strtotime('first day of +1 month'));
// e.g. "1"

echo date('F',strtotime('first day of +1 month'));
// e.g. "January"

This will give you Next month.

You can find more formatting masks in date() function documentation
